This spring alone I have seen crows harrass buzzards and even a heron.

They all fled of course, the heron looked like it was in some trouble as it could barely avoid the buildings in its way.

NYC has been paying to have it’s garbage hauled as far away as Virginia to go into landfills.

Ah, access-only trash removal! This will certainly help improve the overall trash situation.

while Bukele is still stateside

where is this quote from?

I’d assume this has been said about many wars throughout human history.

The nosedive is already well underway, it’s a little too late to short now.

Better to just buy the dip!

To remind all you newsheads to go out and touch some grass this weekend, here’s young future chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz and current acting finance minister/vice-chancellor Robert Habeck in their 30s.

The passage of time - and bourgeois power struggles - really are terrible things.

Don’t forget there’s now much more money in Crypto ETFs than a year ago (or two). Most of these ETFs will have a large Bitcoin share.

As long as the people behind those funds don’t pull their money, why should it go down?

Personally, I would always keep some XMR around - it basically only goes up AND you can buy drugs with it. What a world, huh!

I’m a scholar and I consume slop

Imagine going back in time 50 years to see some Civil War researcher and telling them, “oh yeah read your book in college, excellent slop!”

Bezuhla is the ukranian MP, formerly of zelenskyy’s party, that constantly criticizes all the military people z-man has issues with, including former commander-in-chief Zaluzhnyi but not the current zelensky loyalist Syrskyi

Huh, that was news to me…but sounds plausible. Mercouris mentions her quite a bit but always as a general critic of the government, apparently including ol’ Z.

Dear nortenos, what is the current average egg price in the good 'ol US of A?

Not that eggs are THAT cheap as Gunther would like you to believe, I just paid 5 heckin’ Euroinos for 6 eggs, which didn’t even come from so organic free range farm.

(I insist that this post is “news” on multiple levels! Relevant for eggs enthusiasts, Gunther enjoyers and general Euro-US decline news.)

GOOD post

A 30 day cease fire, all the while EU lackeys are banging the war drums and screaming they want to give ukrainians more wunderwaffe…

“If Putler rejects this honest proposal, it just goes to show how the Russians don’t want peace!”

The probable future coalition partners of the CDU and SPD just announced their basic understanding to proceed with an absolutely INSANE militarization programme.

The outline is at least 500 billion €s for military hardware and investments in military-relevant infrastructure, with no theoretical limit - over the past couple of days, politicians have thrown around numbers like 800 billion and even higher. That’s basically the entire Pentagon budget for Germany to spend over like 5 years or so.

Early statements call for “an army of 100,000 drones, 2,000 Patriot missiles, at least 800 tanks and 1,000 Taurus cruise missiles”, with more to come.

This gigantic defense programme will be financed entirely by debt, and they plan to suspend the “debt brake” - but just for defense stuff, pointless social spending like schools and hospitals will not be exempt from the austerity program.

Just insane. All the German MSMs I’m looking at are celebrating. It will be interesting if any leftist organization can mobilize against this monstrosity, this really can’t be true.

Really feels like Europe is going completely off the rails this week. Maybe I’m a little out of whack too since I’ve basically listened to 5 hours of Mercouris et al. every day for some days now and this was to be expected, sort of…but I can’t see any good come of this.

Oh well, maybe they’ll fix some of the shittier roads at least so that tanks can drive over, or they’ll run out of money, or they just find that throwing money at a problem doesn’t magically create tanks. There’s this adage of “Germany is the country that spends the most on its military and basically gets nothing out of it”, and that was still very true over the last couple of years. As far as I know, virtually none of the hardware that the first 100 billions dollars were supposed to buy actually arrived in the depots, it’s all still mostly on order lol.

Someone asked AI models who to vote in the German election.

Somewhat surprisingly they all said vote Die Linke. AfD came in last.

Looking at the individual results, they all answered “Yes!” to the question: “Should Germany keep supporting the Ukraine militarily?”

Is there still this rule of thumb that an active ejection makes you like a half inch shorter?

Or maybe the new ejections seats are better. They have to be, look how many crashes there are!
